The Busselton Jetty Crew is an exciting youth program for 16 to 18-year-olds. The program provides formal training in environmental stewardship, leadership, and personal development, helping young people build valuable skills for their future in a supportive, small-group setting.
The program encourages friendship, community involvement, and a strong sense of purpose. Jetty Crew aims to inspire participants to develop a passion for coastal and marine stewardship, community, and the preservation of the iconic Busselton Jetty.
Running since 2018, Jetty Crew has been endorsed by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) since 2021. Participants who successfully complete the program receive one credit towards their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). Thanks to the generous support of program donors, participation in the program is free of charge.
By joining the Jetty Crew, participants have the opportunity to explore the past, appreciate the present, and contribute to the future of Busselton Jetty Inc. and its community.
The program includes hands-on workshops, inspiring guest speakers, and exciting excursions, all designed to support personal growth, strengthen community connections, and foster an appreciation for marine and coastal conservation.
Throughout the year, members who demonstrate outstanding dedication and commitment to the program may also have the opportunity to complete an Open Water Dive Course at the Jetty.
Jetty Crew members receive guidance and mentorship from Busselton Jetty staff and Board members, local experts, program sponsors, and previous Jetty Crew participants.
The Jetty Crew Program is an excellent opportunity for individuals that would like to enrich their learning with hands-on experiences, develop their skills and confidence, make new friends, and contribute to their local community.
The Jetty Crew program runs for approximately 18 sessions over the course of the school year. Positions are limited, and shortlisted applicants will be required to attend an interview. Unsuccessful applicants are encouraged to apply again the following year.
